Chapter 5: Prophecy

Among the mountains and forests outside the Zhusi Cave Mansion.

The remaining youkai gather in one place to try to spy on the situation in the vicinity of Zhusi Cave Mansion.

The two extraordinarily powerful momentum collided before, and the huge momentum really shocked them.

It's just that this didn't last long.

After only a few minutes, it fell silent.

The great battle that the youkai had expected never happened.

In fact, they don't want either side to win easily.

The reason is simple.

In their eyes, it is inevitable that Zhu Si Daxian will get out of trouble this time and become an evil person, unless he is seriously injured, this Zhu Si Cave Mansion will become a forbidden area for declaration.

Even if the evil spirit transformed into the Great Demon does not attack the outside world, it will passively pollute all the surrounding areas.

On the other hand, the victory of the human who came out of nowhere was equally unacceptable.

The silence of the battlefield made the spider spirits extremely anxious.

Thankfully, they don't have to worry about that soon.

Because within a few minutes after the battlefield calmed down, all the spider spirits felt some kind of energy surging in their bodies.

It's not evil energy, it's their origin......

"Master! We were wrong, spare our lives, and never dare to disobey your orders again! ”

The eldest sister seemed to notice something, and fell to her knees first, crying out with tears in her eyes.

Seeing this, the other spider spirits next to him also knelt on the ground and began to plead towards the location of the Zhusi Cave Mansion.

However, their prostrations are clearly of no use.

It didn't take long for the cold to spill out of the spider spirits, freezing their flesh, skin, and hair.

Eventually, they turned into ice sculptures and stood in place.

When the monsters who were originally clustered nearby saw this scene, they didn't expect that it was Zhu Si Daxian who was angry and fled in panic.

The top of the cliff.

Yan Jing, who had just put away his weapon, sensed the disappearance of several breaths in the distance, and looked at the palace beauty in front of him in surprise.

"You killed them?"

If Yan Jing remembered correctly, that group of spider spirits should be the apprentices of Zhu Si Great Immortal.

Compared to the naked appearance when he first got out of trouble.

At this time, Zhu Si Daxian was dressed in a light blue palace dress, her face was cold and pretty, bathed in the moonlight, like a fairy in the sky.

"I told them before I was trapped by the demons in my heart, I must not indulge in lust, that will only intensify the evil spirits into the body, they are here to borrow my name, human beings as sacrifices, I will not kill them, in a few years, they will become demons!"

Zhu Si Daxian, who had completely recovered his mind, looked back at Yan Jing and explained, his expression suddenly became sad again,

"Instead of subjecting them to evil torments, it is better to give them a good time now...... You really can't remember anything from your past life? ”

"I had an old relationship with you in my previous life, and I think that's why this world made me appear near Zhusi Cave."

Yan Jing said this half-truth.

He didn't know what this body's past life was, and he wasn't interested in knowing it.

As for the second half of the sentence.

The torch specially changed Yan Jing's appearance, and stuffed it into a sedan chair, so that he could become the groom's official in advance.

At this point, Yan Jing still didn't understand that the torch was to use the power of this Zhu Si Great Immortal

"Yes, it must be so...... So what about when you complete your mission, will you go back? ”

Zhu Si Daxian's gaze locked on Yan Jing, and she chose to believe the latter's statement without hesitation, or she didn't consider other possibilities at all, and was only willing to believe this explanation.

Even if the evil energy in her body dissipated under the cleansing of the power of faith.

The demonic obsession that once troubled her is still there.

"I don't know, after waking up, the deepest impression in my mind is the three words of Destiny and Man, and the mission of awakening the candle dragon."

Yan Jing didn't know enough about this world, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense at will at this time, so he simply let Zhu Si Daxian guess,

"I'm hiding in the human sacrifices that have been sent to me, hoping to learn something from you."

Judging by the reaction of the previous group of spider spirits.

Yan Jing was sure that Zhu Si Daxian must have some understanding of the "Candle Dragon" and the "Mandate of Heaven".

And that's exactly what happened.

After being silent for a long time, Zhu Si Daxian raised his hand and motioned for Yan Jing to follow, and the two walked into the hall.

First wake up those teenagers who are still in a coma, remove the spider venom on their bodies, and then give them tokens, and let them go to the mountains and forests outside to find the monster that they just sent them, and return the same way.

There were only two people left in the huge palace.

The bright yellow candle flame is lit again, reflecting the surrounding wedding decoration.

Zhu Si Daxian poured himself a glass of wine, his eyes were still on Yan Jing, and he didn't know what to think again, his face was slightly red.

"Jusi Daisen ......"

"Zhu Xia, my name, although you have no memory of your previous life, I still remember you, that's enough!"

Although Yan Jing stated many times that he had nothing to do with the person in Zhu Xia's memory, strictly speaking, the latter obviously didn't listen to him at all.

In desperation, Yan Jing could only compromise.

After all, the identity he borrowed is here, and now is not the time to dwell on the issue of titles.

The two sat at the broken banquet table.

Between pushing the cups and changing the lamps, Zhu Xia began to mention the meaning of the candle dragon and the representatives of the Mandate of Heaven.

The two appellations actually come from the same rumor.

Three hundred years ago, the origin of this heaven and earth was polluted, and the evil or extraterritorial heavenly demons of the other world descended, the six realms collapsed, the reincarnation was disordered, and the catastrophe swept the entire world.

I won't go into too much detail about the exact process here, but what really matters is the prophecies that have been handed down during those last days.

"Shinto has collapsed, humanity has declined, and legend has it that the candle dragon is the only remaining guardian of this world...... The human face is red and the body of the snake, the straight eyes are riding, its eyes are obscure, its vision is clear, it does not eat or sleep, and the wind and rain are admonished. ”

Mentioning this guardian, Zhu Xia seemed to recall some things in the past, and her tone became more and more low.

"I don't know when it began, the immortals who survived that catastrophe, the cultivators all believe that only by awakening the candle dragon can they reshape this heaven and earth, change the sun and moon, restore the origin of the world, and expel the evil spirits."

"How do you wake up the candle dragon?"

Thinking of the main task of his trip, and noticing the "reshaping of the sun and moon" mentioned by Zhu Xia, Yan Jing's eyes lit up and asked.

"Destiny!"

Looking up at Yan Jing reluctantly, Zhu Xia continued,

"The candle dragon alone can't fight against the extraterritorial heavenly demons, so it is forced to seal itself to prevent the extraterritorial heavenly demons and the demons under its control from taking advantage of the void and waiting for the arrival of the Mandate of Heaven."

This was the end of the rumors.

The candle dragon waits for the awakening of the Mandate of Heaven, but no one knows who the Mandate of Heaven is, and how to wake up the candle dragon after finding it.

There may have been a more detailed version, but in the past hundred years, coupled with the demonic demons who have controlled the demons frantically chasing down those who know the inside story, the prophecy has become a legend, and then into a rumor, and the content has become more and more incomplete.

"Where is Zhongshan City?"

No matter how to wake up the Candle Dragon, since he knew that it was in Zhongshan City, what Yan Jing wanted was to go to his destination as soon as possible.

"To the west, after walking west and leaving the Peng'an territory, you can reach Zhongshan City by walking along the Tongtian River for half a month."

As one of the demon kings of the Peng'an realm, Zhu Xia was well aware of the situation nearby, and after a short thought, she gave an answer, thinking of Yan Jing's identity as a person of the Mandate of Heaven, and realizing that the latter would definitely go to Zhongshan City, so she added,

"I went to Zhongshan City decades ago, and in order to suppress the candle dragon and demon who don't know where to sleep in Zhongshan Mountain, the demon established a city, and I can take you there."

"Half a month small...... No, it's been too long, is there a way for me to get to Zhongshan Castle as soon as possible? ”

The time for the torch to give Yan Jing was only five days, not to mention that if he wanted to return to this life, he had to return to the advent point, which meant that he had to count the return time, and he couldn't spend all his time on the road.

"The fastest way is to take the ichthyosaur in the Tongtian River, it only takes one day, but this method is only suitable for demons, and it has to be agreed by the old turtle, and a lot of remuneration will be given, I have a pass, you ...... They won't allow humans to climb on the ichthyosaurs. ”

"You just need to take me to the old turtle, and I'll give it a reason it can't refuse."

Taking a sip of wine, Yan Jing said in a deep voice.

After two days of going back and forth, he had nearly three days to find the candle dragon in Zhongshan City and find a way to wake it up.

"Actually, there is a way, the old turtle will definitely be willing to assist you in your action."

"How?"

"Can you repeat the previous method you used to help me get rid of evil energy?"

Raising her hand and holding it lightly, feeling her completely normal body, Zhu Xia's eyes were full of surprise, and she couldn't help asking.

She was willing to believe that Yan Jing was a man of destiny, but not just because of that face.

This special ability to dispel evil energy is the best proof of this.

If you are not blessed, where can you do such a miraculous thing?

You must know that the destruction of spiritual wisdom by evil energy can be said to be a great trouble for all monsters, after all, every spirit has to go through a long period of cultivation to finally have spiritual wisdom.

Unless it's those who have been completely corrupted or who are willing to be enslaved by evil spirits.

Otherwise, who wants to let hundreds of years of penance go down the drain?

However, the origin of the world is polluted, the more powerful the spirit, the deeper the impact, Zhu Xia herself is the best example, the situation of the old turtle in charge of the Tongtian River is even more serious, the loss is that the life cultivation is enough after death, otherwise it would have become an evil cult long ago.

"Of course, when are we leaving?"

Now Yan Jing is blessed with the power of faith provided by Immortal Palace City, Qingkong City, and even the three places in the present world, even if most of them will be thrown into the Sealing Gate, the rest will still be enough to support him in battle.

It is not difficult to get rid of the evil energy in the body of the monster.

"I've been sealed in the Zhusi Cave for too long, and I don't know what the situation is in Tongtian Hanoi now...... Before heading to the Tongtian River, we can go to my senior brother, who is in the Peng'an Realm. ”

Zhu Xia has been sealed for many years, and the Tongtian River is a big river, I don't know where the old turtle is now, instead of rushing over, it is better to find the Baimu Daxian to understand the current situation.

"Senior brother, he has been to Zhongshan City before, and he also has dealings with the demons who live there, so maybe he will know some news about the candle dragon."

Although Peng'an is a little far away from Zhongshan City, as the demon king, their connections are naturally not limited to Peng'an.

"Your senior brother is willing to help?"

Yan Jing raised his eyebrows, there was someone who was more familiar with the situation who was willing to help, so he naturally raised his hands in approval.

The problem is that the torch arranged for him to be in Zhusi Cave instead of the abode of the Hundred Eyes Great Immortal, which in itself is a hint.

He ...... As long as you don't show up, he may be willing to help. ”

Regarding Yan Jing's inquiry, Zhu Xia was stunned for half a second, then looked at the former, and explained,

"As far as I know, he has a close relationship with the Jiao Demon King in Zhongshan City, and he should advocate the complete elimination of the Candle Dragon, and the news that you are a Mandate of Heaven must not be known to him, I will ask tentatively and try not to let him find out."

The monsters that can survive in this world will be affected to a greater or lesser extent.

Zhu Xia sealed herself because of the demons in her heart, and she didn't know about the situation of the Hundred Eyes Immortal.

To put it mildly, her group of apprentices, that is, the spider spirits, all concentrated on cultivation.

Who would have thought that only a few decades later, they would become such crazy?

Not to mention that the Hundred Eyes Great Immortal originally belonged to the camp of suppressing and destroying the Candle Dragon, and it was impossible for him to take the initiative to assist Yan Jing.

Zhu Xia also knows this, so her goal is not complicated, she just wants to go back quickly, get some important information, and determine the location of the old turtle no matter how bad it is.

After a short period of thought, Yan Jing chose to agree to Zhu Xia's plan.

On the one hand, he now needs the latter's assistance, and parting ways at this time will only slow down the follow-up plan of action.

On the other hand, Yan Jing learned through inquiry that the cave where the Hundred Eyes Great Immortal was located was not far from Zhusi Cave, and with the footsteps of the two of them, they could reach it in an hour.

On the way to find the Hundred Eyes Great Immortal, Zhu Xia also successively informed Yan Jing of the information she knew about Zhongshan City.

The prophecies about the candle dragon and the Mandate of Heaven have always been highly valued.

Not only demons, but even the evil spirits of the other space were very jealous of the candle dragon, so much so that hundreds of years ago, they gathered a large group of demons to establish Zhongshan City with Zhongshan as the center, in order to find the candle dragon and completely destroy it.

Similarly, once the Mandate of Heaven appears, if he wants to awaken the Candle Dragon, he must go to Zhongshan City, and what he has to face is the army of demons entrenched here.

With the passage of time, although the candle dragon was not found, Zhongshan City gradually developed into a big city recognized by the demons, not to mention that there were many demon kings in it, and it was rumored that there were extraterritorial heavenly demons hiding in it.

Zhu Xia specially talked about these things on the way, to a certain extent, it was also a hint at the danger of Yan Jing Zhongshan City, in her opinion, the latter was too anxious, and rushed to Zhongshan City, if there was no careful plan, it would only become a meal for the demons.

Yan Jing rode the mountain leopard controlled by Zhu Xia, and most of the time he just listened silently, of course he could sense the meaning of Zhu Xia's words, but it was impossible for him to slow down at all.

It is obviously impossible to find the candle dragon in the usual way.

After all, the demons have been searching for hundreds of years and have not found a reason, which is enough to prove that the candle dragon is by no means an existence that can be easily found, and it only takes three days for Yan Jingman to complete it.

He could only hope that the demons in Zhongshan City already had the relevant clues.

At that time, it is estimated that they will have to use the identity of this Mandate of Heaven to help them.
